Thread Repair Kits for spark plug threads, 18 x 1.5 , 1,5 D

• Repairing damaged internal threads with a coordinated sequence of drilling, STI tapping, insert installation and finishing
• Reinforcing worn or weak receiving threads in service parts, housings and repeatedly assembled joints
• Using one matched repair set when you need process consistency for the stated thread designation
• Process: manual driving or assisted driving depending on your holder and machine setup
• Use: thread cutting, re tapping, and thread cleaning depending on condition

Note Select the product by thread designation, workpiece condition and the holder concept used in your process.

• Matched repair logic supports repeatable restoration of an existing thread designation
• Insert based repair can improve service life of the receiving thread in repeated assembly work
• Suitable for maintenance, overhaul and workshop repairs where part replacement is undesirable
• Clear assignment between preparation, tapping and insert installation reduces handling errors

• The process depends on the correct repair sequence and is not suitable when the parent material is cracked or too thin for the repair concept.
• It is a repair system and not the fastest choice when you only need a one time emergency fix without the full preparation steps.

1. Secure the part and identify the damaged thread so that the repair axis is clearly accessible.
2. Prepare the hole with the matched drill from the kit and remove loose chips from the bore.
3. Cut the receiving thread with the STI tap while keeping the tool aligned to the axis.
4. Clean the prepared receiving thread and check that the entry is free from debris.
5. Load the wire insert onto the inserting tool and start it square to the prepared thread.
6. Drive the insert until it sits at the intended depth in the receiving thread.
7. Remove the tang where required and check the repaired thread with the intended fastener or inspection method.
